Domain-specific¶
- Mesoscale Eddy
- A mesoscale eddy is a coherent rotating ocean structure, typically 10–500 km in diameter and persisting weeks to months
This sourceA global altimetric census of coherent mesoscale eddies, with a mean radius scale near 90 km and lifetimes averaging about 32 weeks among those tracked for at least 16. The trapping of interior fluid by nonlinear eddies and their near-due-west propagation at about the long baroclinic Rossby-wave speed. Altimetric evidence that, outside the tropics, most westward-propagating mesoscale variability consists of isolated, coherent nonlinear eddies rather than linear Rossby waves.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
